Naviance

Fox Valley Lutheran High School is dedicated to assisting students in finding and exploring career choices which fit with their personalities and interests. One tool that is used is the nationally recognized Naviance College and Career Readiness program. Naviance enables students (and parents) to easily access college and career information, keep a record of their volunteer and cocurricular activities, learn about available scholarships, and more.
